The Dorotheerkloster was an Augustinian canon monastery in Vienna . The original intention to found a monastery at the Church of St. Dorothea in Vienna goes back to Albrecht IV . Due to his early death, however, the foundation could only be realized by his son Albrecht V in 1414.

Along with the Schottenstift, St. Dorothea was one of the richest monasteries in Vienna. In 1786 the Augustinian Canons' monastery was dissolved as part of the Josephine reforms . The famous tomb of Niklas von Salm (by the sculptor Loy Hering ) was located in the monastery church and is now on loan from the Salm-Reifferscheidt family in the Vienna Votive Church .

The Palais Dorotheum is located there in place of the Dorotheerkloster . Vis-a-vis the Dorotheerkloster was the queen monastery , which was also dissolved in the course of the Josephine reforms.
